Election Wave

Mera paper ho raha hai reject baar baar,
Kehte hain sab, mera thesis bilkul bekar,
Ab ki baar Modi sarkar!

Poetic Interpretations

Lyricists write lyrics with aesthetic and sublime connotations. But listening to the same songs while driving on the pothole ridden roads of Bangalore have led to many alternative interpretations in my mind. An example follows:


Jannatein sajai maine tere liye,
Chod di khudai maine tere liye...

Saale khudai chod ke ladki ke peeche bhaag liye,
Road ke beech mein 3 foot ka gadda jo ban gaya hai woh tera baap bharega kya mere liye?
